Up in the deep north

Arrived in Auckland at 5.30am - collected our car and turned left and had a great long drive to the north - popped into Kawakawa to out Hundertwasser toilets - discovered my camera battery was flat and charger back in Perth - sadly the cord doesn't fit Ian's camera so when I remember how to send pics from my phone I will.

In the meantime we slept in until 10am which was very good and booked in for our anni dinner. Been walking and exploring. Thanks for all the lovely messages.

Happy Anniversary to you both! I had never heard of these toilets but followed Shane's link to her blog and WOW no wonder they are a tourist attraction! By the way Shane I 'borrowed' your delicious Friand recipe. Bethx

About Me

I am a textile artist and owner of The Thread Studio. I am passionate about all areas of textile art and try to be as cutting edge as I can. I enjoy machine and hand stitching, developing ideas using a needle felting machine and playing and experimenting with all manner of textiley and mixed media stuff. I guess I am an art journaller of a different variety before the title became trendy but my journals are more the stitchy variety than the paper types. I have been a teacher for many years and run a number of on-line and in the flesh workshops. I have written a book on using a needlefelting machine 'Surface Tension' and four Let's Play booklets. I have been published in many magazines around the world. Our new e-mag threads.In-fusion was launched in June 2013 with a fabulous response - Issue1 - 12 are available for you to buy. And I am a passionate All Black supporter - some would call that a tragedy.....and what a wonderful win for the All Blacks at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. 2016 my beloved Hurricanes finally won their first Super Rugby Championship and I look forward to seeing how they go in 2018
